[demoscene] Aboveground descendant of the
copyparty, with emphasis shifted away from software
piracy and towards compos. Smaller demoparties, for
100 persons or less, are held quite often, sometimes even once a month, and
usually last for one to two days. On the other end of the scale, huge demo
parties are held once a year (and four of these have grown very large and
occur annually — Assembly in Finland, The Party in Denmark, The Gathering
in Norway, and NAID somewhere in north America). These parties usually last
for three to five days, have room for 3000-5000 people, and have a party
network with connection to the internet.
